Hey guys! Sorry i haven't been on in awhile. So it has almost been 4 months now, my does time go by. I am sad to say that i liked my tummy way more when it was swollen. Though i do see some changes and feel a bit better than before.. I do not feel as though the surgery was worth 5000 dollars. My main concern prior to surgery was my tummy. I have had a lot of self esteem issues due to it and decided to spend this much money on it in hopes for it to go away. I know that Dr.Sohn did state that i wouldn't be fully 100% happy with it due to loose skin.. but he said i would be about 90% happy. I would say that i am about 30 % happy. It almost seems like nothing was done to the tummy area. What has happened is that i have indents where my hips are, a few ripples, and uneven pouch type thing on the left of my lower tummy. All of these things wouldn't bother me so much if my tummy was flatter but saddens me to see these things and still have my pot belly. :( In my last visit Dr.Sohn did say that he saw what I was saying a bit and that we would talk when we see each other for my 6 month post opp. I really do like this doctor and would recommend him due to the fact of how comfortable the entire staff makes me feel. I just kind of wish i didn't waste that money. Now I'm going to have to decide if i want to talk to him about doing this again or giving up :/

Honestly you look great I bet if you lost weight all the swelling and fat from that area would go away quicker than other areas? But I get your concerns 5k is a ton of cash!

Hey guys i am sorry i haven't posted in awhile. When i saw the doc last he sad every thing looks good I'm just way too swollen in my back and should be massaging it more. Wish i was taking weekly progress pics to show everyone. I am definitely happier now then i was pre surgery with my body but i guess i was expecting a bit more. I knew the doctor said he had to leave a little fat in my lower abs so that i wouldn't have loose skin but i feel like i have more fat left in the upper and lower abs. I was hoping that when i sit i wouldn't have rolls or obvious bulge but i still do. I feel better in close and standing but still not "bathing suit" ready. I really hate how it looks when i sit. Also i kind of feel that it looked flatter a couple weeks ago but now it looks less flat. Not sure if its because the swelling left or what but wish that my abs looks like they did 2 weeks ago. As for my flanks i think they look pretty good. They are still pretty tender and hard but i am getting weekly lymphatic massages and making sure that i am massaging them better everyday. I still notice that dent on my left hip. Not sure if it just from swelling or permanent. Hoping that somehow in the next couple weeks it'll get tighter and flatter in my upper and owed abs! Still happy that i did it though.

It has almost been two weeks since surgery! I decided to call the office in regards to my dent the other day. All the girls were so sweet and understanding and lori the nurse insisted for me to come in to feel at peace with it. I came in and she took the time to look at it as well as try to take any fluid out. She insisted that it was just swelling and was normal. She also got Dr. Sohn to take a look at it as well. He said everything looks really good and that it is just normal swelling. They really made me feel at peace i am so happy i went in. I got stronger pain killers which has been very helpful this busy week. Cant wait for the swelling to go down and to be out of this garment!
